BOCA RESEARCH DEVELOPS PROGRAMMABLE OPTICAL DAA...BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY FOR WORLD-WIDE CERTIFICATIONS OF MODEMS.

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 1995--Boca Research, Inc. (NASDAQ:BOCI) today announced that it has developed an easily reconfigurable optical DAA (Data Access Arrangement) -- the circuitry between the telephone equipment and the computer equipment. This technology allows Boca Research to adapt its modems to specific country requirements throughout the world quickly and cost effectively.

"An optical DAA has the advantage over a traditional transformer design in that it can be configured to support a multitude of country telephone systems from a common hardware base," said Larry Light, Boca's Vice President of Engineering. "We have received several major positive achievements for our programmable optical DAA which validate our design approach. This approach provides a cost savings to us which we, in turn, can pass onto our customers. Also, it allows us to obtain international certifications for our modems quickly and cost-effectively," he added.

"Larry is right," commented Charles Kenmore, Vice President/General Manager, International for Boca Research. "The programmable optical DAA has allowed Boca Research to move full speed ahead in country-specific certifications of modems. I'm proud to announce that we've added another three countries; Norway, Sweden and Finland; to the growing list of countries in which our V.34 28,800bps modem is certified. These additional certifications come on the heals of our official homologation in Germany and Denmark which we announced earlier this week.

"This international certification process is part of our strategic approach to offering country-approved, localized products. Localization is a key element of our international strategy and includes software, packaging, and manuals customized in local language. With the continued focus on products featuring the optical DAA technology, Boca Research will continue to commit itself to growing its internationally-certified modem product line. Boca Research is committed to providing high performance PC peripheral products for the value conscious buyer," he concluded.
